>What I'm not sure about is that you gain anything from 'neural' or >'brainlike' elements at all. The brain should not be put on a pedestal. I think you're right. A good example is natural language.

Humans process about 10^9 bits of information from language during a lifetime, which means the language areas of the brain must use thousands of synapses per bit. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
